Before: Latched but unbroken, grimy and slightly ajar to permit quiet communication from within

After: Disturbed by Jo’s emergency departure and the patrol’s advance, its rattling alerting nearby enemies to her presence

Before: Raised just enough to allow a hand signal through, with faint scratches from previous breaches and a single mud splatter from recent flooding

After: Still raised but imminently compromised by the approaching reptilian patrol whose presence disrupts Jo’s escape route
